They do not complain about other problems. All these are part of the new edition of \u201cTema\u201d programme.<\/p>\n<p>On the freedom of movement in Kosovo-Serbia border, after the free movement agreement entered into force on 26 December 2012, speak those that often cross this border on both sides of it, traveling to neighbouring countries with long history of hostility.<\/p>\n<p>This topic will be addressed in the new edition of the \u201cTema\u201d programme with drivers and owners of transport companies from Kosovo and Serbia who constantly travel to these two countries.<br \/>\nSreten Djoroviq, a truck driver and owner of the company Becko Transport, told \u201cTema\u201d he has no problems with Albanians when traveling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo those who don\u2019t speak Serbian, I speak in Albanian and we always seem to understand each other,\u201d adds Djoroviq.<\/p>\n<p>Djoroviqit colleagues, whether they are Albanians or Serbs, seem to have no problems during their voyages, although acknowledging that the political situation significantly affects their work.<br \/>\n\u201cAlbanians often travel with me. They go to Belgrade to visit doctors and sometimes just for fun\u201d says Bogoljub Marin<br \/>\nkovic, the owner of \u201cKIMco\u201d travel agency, traveling every day from Kosovo to Belgrade and back.<br \/>\nFehmi Jashari, owner of the \u201cLina-A\u201d company from Fush\u00eb Kosova, admits he has no problems when traveling to Serbia and mentioning his favourite dining places too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s happened before. However, if somebody happens to torn my tires, or anything else, I turn to the first car service and fix them with no problem,\u201d he said. \u201cThe fact our vehicles carry temporary plates people know we are Albanians from Kosovo,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The freedom of movement is far more difficult now due to higher taxes that need to be paid on both sides of the border.<\/p>\n<p>Bogoljub Marinkovic thinks that the problem is not the ordinary people, but the political agreements that have turned out to be quite expensive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t pay this much taxes not even during the time when Turks used to collect tributes,\u201d he says.<br \/>\nMarinkovic complains that a large part of earnings goes for taxes paid in Serbia. When traveling to Serbia there are no mitigations for him as a Serb from Kosovo.<\/p>\n<p>Fazli Sylejmani, an Albanian taxi driver from Presevo, says that insurance costs more than half of the car he drives. He pays 20 euros each week to enter Kosovo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis makes the ticket more expensive, increases travel time and decreases number of clients,\u201d he said. Sylejmani believes it would be much better if these taxes are removed. \u201cI have to make three trips to Kosovo in order to make some profit for myself,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p>Marinkovic thinks that Serbia and Kosovo should reach an agreement on the green card vehicle insurance which is used when traveling abroad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTema\u201d debate program on freedom of movement and other problems that drivers from both sides face will also tackle the police fine phenomena, queues and corruption, as well as who takes more bribes Kosovo or Serbian police.<\/p>\n<p>TEMA program is production of Internews Kosova and BIRN, supported by the Ministry of Foreign Office of United Kingdom. The new edition of \u201cTema\u201d program on freedom of movement will be broadcasted in Kosovo in Television 21, Monday at 22:30 and Serbia in PINK-2, Saturday at 19:00.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drivers of vehicles that frequently cross the border between Kosovo and Serbia traveling to the territories of long history of hostility, share their experiences.
